    SCOO Full Moon Cruise Oct.7-9, 2025

       Please NOTE:  Southwest Creek is quite a ways into South River; location noted above. Motorsailing may take 2 hours or so, depending on your location, and winds, of course!

    Our Full Moon Cruise at Southwest Creek is coming up next month.  We're looking forward to spending two relaxed days and nights there with you!  It's a beautiful anchorage, and we know that lots of friendships will be forged and strengthened during our time together.

    Here are the details: SV Heels Me plans to arrive by 3:00 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 7th.  That night we'll eat a potluck dinner together at 5:30 pm -- on boats rafted together.

    On Wednesday, we'll plan to have happy hour together at 4:00 pm on designated boats!

    WHAT TO BRING:  

    1. Your own cutlery, plates, napkins and drinks, including water.
    2. A dish to share on Oct. 7th -- main dishes, salads, sides and desserts appreciated! 
    3. An appetizer to share on Oct. 8th for happy hour.
    4. Cards or games to play -- optional. :)

    If you have any questions, feel free to text or call Ann (919-593-9806) or Jeff Boswell (252-670-6322).  

    Happy Sailing until then,

    Jeff and Ann Bowell

       SCOO’s MumFest Cruise 

    Boats + Mums = MumFest Cruise! Cruise to New Bern on Friday, October 10th, attend the MumFest on Saturday, October 11th   and return home on Sunday, October 12th.

    CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS:

    After cruising to New Bern, delight your fellow sailors on Friday night at the Grand Marina with your culinary skills as you share your favorite light hors d’oeuvre.

    On Saturday morning, rub the sleep out of your eyes if you wish to have breakfast with fellow cruisers at a local eatery. See who needs to consume the most coffee before uttering a coherent sentence.

    Saturday enjoy the MumFest, an awarding winning festival, with about 300 vendors, music and exhibits throughout the day.

    Saturday night break bread with your fellow cruisers at a local restaurant in New Bern. Share your great finds and purchases made at the MumFest. Sea stories optional.

    Dockage is available at:

    New Bern Grand Marina – complete the attached dockage agreement (see below) and email it to captclay.sailingnighthawk@gmail.com. In response to the question “How did you hear about the NCGMYC?” Answer: “SCOO”. The dockmaster will attempt to dock us close together as possible. Note discount rates for members of BoatUS.

    Galley Stores Marinamust use Dockwa to reserve a slip.

    NOTE: DOCKAGE AT BOTH MARINAS IS LIMITED. DO NOT DELAY IN RESERVING A SLIP.

    Anchorage:

    Ample anchorage is available on the Neuse River off of Union Point or on the Trent River west of the Norfolk Southern railroad bridge.

    Note: Due to the large number of people attending MumFest, restaurant reservations for large groups will be difficult to obtain. Regrettably shore social events will be limited to registered cruise participants.

    Remember to register all of your crew.
